Crescendo Review

Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥

Nora Grey's life is still far from perfect. Surviving an attempt on her life wasn't pleasant, but at least she got a guardian angel out of it: a mysterious, magnetic, gorgeous guardian angel. But, despite his role in her life, Patch has been acting anything but angelic. He's more elusive than ever and even worse, he's started spending time with Nora's arch-enemy, Marcie Millar.
Nora would have hardly noticed Scott Parnell, an old family friend who has moved back to town, if Patch hadnt been acting so distant. Even with Scott's totally infuriating attitude Nora finds herself drawn to him - despite her lingering feeling that he's hiding something. Haunted by images of her murdered father, and questioning whether her nephilim bloodline has anything to do with his death, Nora puts herself increasingly in dangerous situations as she desperately searches for answers. But maybe some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everything - and everyone - she trusts.

After reading Hush, Hush my expectations were lowered a bit for this book. Plus there's so many mixed reviews on it, I wasn't expecting much, but I was still excited to read it! SO. I totally fell in love with this book! It's way better than Hush, Hush even though Nora did a lot of crying over Patch and boo friggin who.

I was totally expecting Patch to be the Black Hand who killed Nora's dad, or some other creep like one of Chauncy's friends or something. But it wasn't! I especially loved when it started going into the 2nd half of the book, because there was more Patch and he was always there for Nora even though she didn't know it. I didn't like how Nora had broken up with Patch right at the beginning though! I like them together, she's pretty much nothing without him, but in this book she seemed to have grown a brain since Hush, Hush (lol). I really enjoyed reading Crescendo, it was much much better than I expected!
